Christmas Hiatus

We're taking the Christmas holiday off, and we'll be back with more chords, scales, and modes in the new year!  For several somewhat interesting recordings of holiday hymns and Christmas carols, check out these tracks by Chord du Jour's Ryan.  (He does this every year.)

Until we meet here again, have a great rest of the year, have a Happy New Year, and remember to keep jammin'.  Cheers! - Your Friends at Chord du Jour!

Thanksgiving Hiatus

We have a load of modes to go before moving on to additional entries to our growing dictionary, such as blues scales in every key and 7th chords.  We are going to take this week off to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday.  Even though our dictionary is incomplete -- and may never be fully 'complete' -- we have a lot of chords, scales, and modes for fretboard and keyboard reference, as well as various lessons and entries from the past six years.

And yes, we are thankful for our regular readers, our social media subscribers, and search engine visitors.  We hope our current crop of fretboard and keyboard charts are helpful for your amazing journey in music!  Cheers, and Happy Thanksgiving! We'll post more in December!  - Your Friends at Chord du Jour!
